Life can throw you into unexpected situations that you could never have imagined or planned for, but that can be one of the most beautiful things about it. It’s important, however, that you always embrace life around you rather than yearning for something else. Have dreams and goals of course, but don’t let them overwhelm your ability to enjoy and flourish where you are.
